This documentary details the fate of black Civil War soldiers who were housed at Camp Nelson in Kentucky.

Originally a supply depot for Union forces in Kentucky, Camp Nelson became the site where 10,000 Black soldiers trained in the Civil War. In the war’s last months, these soldiers were attacked by bitter Southerners. Their remains have never been found, but now a team is dedicated to finding them to memorialize their service and heroism. From Secrets of the Dead. Distributed by PBS Distribution. 56 min. (NR).

This documentary is available through Access Video on Demand. A video streaming service available to all residents of Ocean County with a library card.
